A ? network connects enterprise networks together.

• A. Wide-area
• B. Local-area
• C. Metropolitan-area
• D. Campus-area

Answer: (A)

This question tests understanding of network scope and how organizations connect multiple sites. A wide-area network is designed to link separate local networks across large geographic distances—cities, regions, or even countries—so an enterprise can operate as one cohesive network with centralized applications and data access. Local-area networks cover a small area like a single building, metropolitan-area networks span a city, and campus-area networks connect buildings within a campus. Because the goal is to connect enterprise networks together across distances, a wide-area network is the appropriate choice, typically using technologies like leased lines, MPLS, VPNs, and internet-based links to move traffic between sites.
